- Cleans Mini DV camcorder and VCR heads
Editorial Review:
This high performance cleaning cassette maintains clear pictures in DV format and is recommended for use when picture noticeably deteriorates. The digital tapes that DV Cameras use are heavily loaded with metal particles that shed during use. The result of particle shedding will tend to appear on the play back screen as white dots or lines. Using a cleaning tape can help reduce the particle build up on the heads, lessening the possibility of having to take your DV camera to the service shop for costly cleanings.

You Can Use This 10-130+ Times 
For the first time in my Sony video camera's 4.5 year life, I get the "dirty head" notice ON MY SECOND DAY OF MY PARIS TRIP (even with annual pro-cleaning)! And alas, with no cleaning cassette with me and no time to hunt for one, I have to leave it in the hotel room. Thankfully, my digital camera takes movies too (but not quite as good as the video camera), but that's another story.
So I search the internet and the Sony cleaner had the best reviews. They're not wrong, so I don't need to add one more.... more info

Head cleaner cassette works
Although tape may seem to be dead or dying with the advent of flash and hard drive memory cameras and systems. The use of DV tape is still alive and well and still used in the professional industry. This Sony head cleaner cassette is an asset. And is best with Sony camcorders, DV player/recorders and other camcorders. We use this cleaner when tapes have been sitting for some time and could cause head clogs from the oxide flaking off. So Keep one on hand to be prepared. Sony makes a great product.

Sony is still the best
Only Sony products that I only trust to work for my 3 video cameras and nothing else for the past 5 years.

Works as advertised - good value that's hard to find in brick and mortar stores 
This dry MiniDV format tape head cleaner works well with my Canon Optura 400. I'd recommend this cleaner for MiniDV cam users experiencing "digital snow", intermittent picture/sound dropouts, and other problems related to dirty heads. Make sure to review the instructions before using the cleaning tape!
